dramatic rescue vs azorius charm

Dramatic Rescue is an anytime bounce and i gain two life which is nice in a pinch, but I can also bounce a creature back to my hand.

Azorius Charm while it has useful other effects, I kind of want it for it's bounce, but the attacking thing can get annoying for a passive effect card I don't wan't on the field and the blocking thing isn't usually a giant issue with invisible stalker. The top of deck is nice though.

I am also thinking about Unsummon , because it is a one drop bounce.

If only I can find a cheap nonland permanent bounce.

Well 2 life isn't really worth doubling the casting cost and making it harder to have the colors. Sure, in some best case scenario it might save you, but I think 9 times out of 10 a few points of life gain are going to be irrelevant. So I think you can ax Dramatic Rescue .

So it really comes down to just the cheaper and more specialized Unsummon , and the more expensive swiss army knife Azorius Charm . I would probably want Azorius Charm just on the cycling alone, if it's ever a dead card you can simply draw off it, but if you can see yourself routinely using 2 or all 3 of the effects than go for Azorius Charm , if all you ever want is bounce then Unsummon .

The draw effect is great and I didn't think about using it's effect on myself aswell, Thank you! Azorius Charm it is!

I like Azorius Charm because it cheats the opponent out of an attack/block AND a draw. And by "like" I mean "hate when it gets used on me". Because I don't have a U/W deck but I've been on the receiving end of a few of those charms.

Cyclonic Rift is only opponent but it's still a crazy card.
